either one making it wouldn’t be a huge surprise

BOTH making it would be a big surprise like 9/10 level

i wont hate it because OKC are good this year

Either way We get PLAYOFF RUSS !!!

Its actually harder because now Maxey is definitely gonna be an all star with the usage he’s gonna get so thats one less spot for others

I actually think Maxey is now gonna become…Rockets James Harden

Yeah I actually think Maxey will emerge from this as an efficient 30 ppg scorer

Maxey + Embiid is gonna be a 50 game winner BUT the key will be finding that 3rd solid piece if they want to compete for a title

How funny everyone thought it was gonna be the Bucks OR Celtics for certain…and then from outta nowhere it will end up being the Sixers in the Finals this year

And I dont even like that franchise but i can def see my scenario playing out

lol got downvoted despite almost hitting the nail on the head

he went 20/5/5 with 5 steals!!! Grizzlies lost a close one tho

think Grizzlies upset tonight

Big game from Marcus Smart 24/5/5 with 3 steals

I have to be honest man I dont think Dame is happy with this partnership he wanted to be with Bam his BFF win or lose…it’s just in his eyes i can see the truth

Giannis is the BEST partner he can have but the truth is deep down he only wanted Miami

Dame is like the girl who married the guy with a good job who’s loving and caring and will treat her like a Queen and she loves him for this but deep down she doesn’t love him like her ex-boyfriend her one real love the passion just isnt there with this responsible guy she married.

Dame is Rose Dawson from the movie Titanic he wants Jack (Miami) but that cant happen Jack (Miami) is dead that ship has sailed

Now Dame can have a long happy life with this new partner (like Rose did) but he’ll always dream about what might have been with Jack/Miami

Russell WestGOAT

Russ was straight up Vicious last night !!

this awesome dunk just makes me even more stunned by the Vince Carter Olympic dunk from like the 1990s the dunk over that 7 foot French player

Monk’s dunk was great but he didnt even come close to leapfrogging the defender and yet Vince Carter jumped over a 7 foot guy like how did that ever happen in an actual basketball game not a dunk contest

there’s only ONE way to make the NBA all star game competitive

The winning team’s players all become eligible for an additional 5 percent added to their next contract. The team doesn’t HAVE to pay that amount but they are eligible for it.

For example Giannis just signed 3/186 extention that could have been 3/195 extension had his team won the all star game last season.

The Bucks wouldn’t have to give him 3/195 they can still give 3/186 then it becomes a negotiation point.

I actually think the first block will be by Zubac in Game 3 and its going to be unspectacular

Wemby will fumble a pass and on the way up with the ball it gets blocked

​

But I would LOVE a Westbrook on KD style block with Russ surprising Wemby from behind and giving him the business

why does everything have to be “exact” every game??

Play him 36 minutes versus Denver, Suns, Kings, Warriors, etc.

Play him 23 minutes versus Wizards, Magic, Blazers, Spurs, etc.

It works out to the same minutes but gives Lakers a much better chance to win the most games

LeBron is going for 62 tonight !!!

AD gets hurt again and the Lakers finish 38-44 and miss the playoffs

Kawhi gets hurt again and the Clippers finish 35-47 and miss playoffs

The Suns win 59 games get #1 seed

The Miami Heat win 57 games get #1 seed

NBA finals is NY Knicks (6th seed) vs Minnesota Timberwolves (4th seed) after an unpredictable playoffs in both conferences. The Knicks traded for Embiid in January.

Knicks win the NBA title in 6 games with Josh Hart winning FMVP as he averaged 14 ppg 11 rebounds, 4 assts, 3 steals, and played outstanding defense on ANT

does it bother me that Russ and RJ Barrett have the same TS percentage but only Russ gets clowned on, well yeah a little

Also Russ game was never shooting he has very special passing/driving skills, something RJ has never shown many if any glimpses of

That GM won the title and swept the Lakers EASILY in the WCF there’s no such thing as a “close sweep”

Nuggets win the title last year without Bruce Brown, it would have been harder but they still win.

2018 LeBron was Jordan Level
